Th e genus Crassignatha Wunderlich, 1995 (previously known from a single male from Malaysia) is represented by seven new Chinese species and is transferred to Symphytognathidae. Th e fi rst Epeirotypus O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1894 species from beyond the Neotropics is described, although the presence of the genus in Asia was previously noted. Notes on morphological characters exhibited by this fauna and implications for the limits and diagnosis of some symphytognathoid families are given. Dichotomous keys to species are provided. Quantitative biodiversity analysis suggests a high degree of endemism for symphytognathoids in the Gaoligongshan.

ZooKeys 870: 77–100. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.870.35971 Abstract The current paper expands knowledge of two Chinese cave spider species originally described in the genus Maymena Gertsch, 1960: M. paquini Miller, Griswold & Yin, 2009 and M. kehen Miller, Griswold & Yin, 2009. With the exception of these two species, the genus Maymena is endemic to the western hemisphere, and new evidence presented here supports the creation of a new genus for the Chinese species, which we name Yamaneta gen. nov. The male of Y. kehen is described for the first time. Detailed illustrations of the habitus, male palps and epigyne are provided for these two species, as well as descriptions of their webs.

In total, the character matrix includes 47 taxa: 35 linyphiids representing the currently used subfamilies of Linyphiidae (Stemonyphantinae, Mynogleninae, Erigoninae, and Linyphiinae (Micronetini plus Linyphiini)) and 12 outgroup species representing nine araneoid families (Pimoidae, Theridiidae, Nesticidae, Synotaxidae, Cyatholipidae, Mysmenidae, Theridiosomatidae, Tetragnathidae, and Araneidae). The morphological characters include those used in recent studies of linyphiid phylogenetics, covering both genitalic and somatic morphology. Different sequence alignments and analytical methods produce different cladistic hypotheses. Lack of congruence among different analyses is, in part, due to the shifting placement of Labulla, Pityohyphantes,

JAVIER SALGUEIRO- SEPÚLVEDA1 1Laboratorio de Aracnología, Facultad de Ciencias, Departamento de Biología Comparada, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Circuito Exterior s/n, Colonia Copilco el Bajo. C. P. 04510. Del. Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, México. E-mail: [email protected] 2Corresponding author Abstract Spider community inventories have relatively well-established standardized collecting protocols. Such protocols set rules for the orderly acquisition of samples to estimate community parameters and to establish comparisons between areas. These methods have been tested worldwide, providing useful data for inventory planning and optimal sampling allocation efforts. The taxonomic counterpart of biodiversity inventories has received considerably less attention. Species lists and their relative abundances are the only link between the community parameters resulting from a biotic inventory and the biology of the species that live there. However, this connection is lost or speculative at best for species only partially identified (e. g., to genus but not to species). This link is particularly important for diverse tropical regions were many taxa are undescribed or little known such as spiders. One approach to this problem has been the development of biodiversity inventory websites that document the morphology of the species with digital images organized as standard views.

Higgins Chuck Parker The insect Order Trichoptera, or caddisflies, consists of an estimated 50,000 species worldwide, with approximately 1700 species known from North America north of Mexico. One hundred sixty-five have been identified from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, out of possibly 300 species that may eventually be found here. This compares with a total of slightly more than 400 species presently known from Ten- nessee as a whole. Caddisflies are very abundant in the Smokies, but are rarely noticed Limnephilus sp. makes its case of plant material, by most Park visitors. Adult caddisflies are nocturnal and closely resemble moths. such as twigs and leaves. Larval caddisflies are aquatic, living in virtually all of the Parks 2000 miles of streams, as well as in the springs, seeps, ponds, and lakes. Some caddisfly larvae are free-living, ranging about the rocks and moss in the streams searching for food. Many other larvae D. Penrose D. build shelters fixed to rocks, logs, or other stable substrates. These shelters may be made almost entirely of a sheet of silk and placed over a slight depression on the substrate surface. Others build delicate tubes of silk that are kept open by the current, which also brings food to a net which they construct. The larvae then simply graze their meals from particles trapped by the nets. Larvae of the family Hydropsychidae build sturdy retreats of sand particles glued together with silk, securely fixed to rocks and logs often in the strongest currents.

The internal morphology of the female genitalia of T. epeiroides is illustrated in this study for the first time. Males of the new species can be distinguished from their congeners by the morphology of the embolic apophyses or the posterior edge of the embolic division on the male palp. Females of the former three species can be differen- tiated from their related species by the shape of the contour formed by interior edges of a pair of sclerotized processes on the posterior edge of the genital plate. The latter species can be distinguished from the allied spe- cies by the angular lateral corners of the genital plate and overall shape of the genitalia (longer than wide). Key words ― Conductor projection, embolic apophysis, epigyne, morphology, new species, process, taxonomy never been illustrated in T.
